Clean energy is emerging as one of the key strategic industries of the 21st century, with global trade in solar and wind related products rivalling that of the trade in oil and gas. International trade in clean energy products and services represents a major opportunity for Global Britain to support our partners across the world in tackling climate change.

Going Clean aims to bring some clarity to how the clean energy sector is governed, looking at the structure of the markets, the intricacies of the supply chains, the geopolitics of trade, and the expert networks that drive deployment.

What will I learn?

In this ‘Going Clean’ event, Department for International Trade Clean Energy Sector Specialist Dr Richard Hall will be joined by solar champion Renate Egan, to discuss the structure of the Australian solar PV market.

Australia leads the world in solar deployment per person (600W/person) and there are currently over 2.3 million rooftop solar installations. Given Australia’s phenomenal solar resource, can UK companies find a place in this dynamic and growing market?
